Grand Canyon & More!

Image













We finished off our time in Arizona seeing a few more sites! We loved the time we spent at school, we learned a lot and met some wonderful people! We're excited about what's next, as we continue to explore and discover!

Above are some of our good friends we met and spent most of the week with! We know we'll be life long friends!

It was certainly grand and beautiful! What an amazing CREATION!!!! WE hiked 2 miles down into the Canyon and then all along the rim, a long and wonderful day! We camped while we were there... the only problem, we didn't realize we had to pay for the shower, so we had to walk back and forth again, after walking all day long!

Here's the amazing sunset we got to experience! One of the most fun experiences was while we were riding the shuttle bus to the Point, we were traveling with a Chinese tour group. The first time they got to peek out the windows at the Grand Canyon as they were going by was so fun - Ooooo's & Aaaahhhh's abounded!

We stopped by Nothern Arizona University and saw the Pi Beta Phi house, which happened to be a huge dorm type complex that housed all the greek chapters. We enjoy stopping at Pi Phi houses on our journeys!
Image













Next, we headed to Sedona and did some hiking and rock climbing! We climbed up the big Cathedral Rock and saw a great view!
Image














Then we went to Rock Slide State Park and slide down a natural water slide. The water was FREEZING but it was an amazing little creek with fun rock slides and pools!

Our last picture is of Dan "hanging out"!

We had a great time in Arizona and thank you all for your support and love while we were there, as well as everyday that we're home!
